Spring 2012 Workshop Schedule
Writing Erotic:
An Evening of Lust, Love and Literature
Discover words your mother never taught you — and play with them in poetry or prose. This workshop is for folks who don’t write and folks who do, for couples, for singles, for the adventurous, for homebodies, for anyone with a sense of fun!
With a series of simple exercises, we will explore the ways of writing the things our senses tell us, as we engage them in the literature of lust and love — with things sweet and savory, soft and hard, light and dark, funny and sad, lilting and raucous. …
One three-hour evening session — $30
Call K-B for dates: 760-522-1064
Come prepared to indulge your senses. Bring writing materials or a laptop. All other materials and yummy things to eat and drink are included in the fee.
Feedback from a recent workshop: A very liberating experience. Definitely thought provoking. I found myself writing from hidden parts of my thoughts and yet it felt safe to share…Oooh, the beautiful lines these [people] wrote…such craft with words.

Read and Critique Writers Group
This ongoing weekly writers group is for those who are actively working on fiction — short stories, novellas or novels — or creative nonfiction.
Through short writing prompts and supportive, constructive feedback from a small group, we encourage writers’ pursuit of their projects and development of their craft. Writers bring pages to “read and critique” each week.
Eight Wednesday mornings, January 25 through March 14
10:00 to 12:00 — $80
